Net gearing

Net gearing is calculated by dividing net borrowings (i.e. gross borrowings less cash and near-cash assets) by shareholders’ funds, and expressing the result as a percentage. Near-cash assets are defined below under the heading ‘Cash’.

Calculation:

TOTAL BORROWINGS, LESS CASH & NEAR-CASH ASSETS

------------------------------------------------------------- X 100 = NET GEARING (%)

SHAREHOLDERS’ FUNDS

Separate figures are calculated to show net gearing both before and after deducting intangibles from shareholders’ funds. A minus sign indicates nil net gearing and denotes a net cash position.
